The STATE of VIRGINIA from the best Authorities. 1799

Description

This map extends from lat. 36°15' to 41° north, and from 75°15' to 83°30' west of London; and from 15' east to 8°30' west of Philadelphia. It has a scale of American statute miles. The text at bottom reads “Engraved for New Encyclopaedia—Published by I. Low, New York.”

This appeared in The New and Complete American Encyclopaedia (New York: Printed and Published by John Low, No. 33 Chatham Street, [1805-1811]). A similar map (or perhaps an earlier state of this map) appeared in John Payne, A New and Complete System of Universal Geography (New York: Printed For, and Sold By John Low, Book-Seller, At the Shakespeares Head, No. 332 Water-Street, 1798-[1800]), volume 4, facing page 385.
